Expat Career Coach Megan Fitzgerald, Blogs, die bei CareerByChoiceBlog​.com, has writ­ten a use­ful post for any­one who is look­ing for a job out­side of his or her home country.

In "Aspiring Expats: How Does Searching For a Job Abroad Differ from one at Home?” she points out how issues like secur­ing proper work doc­u­men­ta­tion, deal­ing with cul­tural and lan­guange dif­fer­ences, und build­ing up a net­work of con­tacts all can make a job search abroad more chal­leng­ing than in your home country.

Even in Canada, where cul­tural dif­fer­ences are smaller and lan­guage issues (at least for those con­sid­er­ing a move to provinces other than Quebec) may not present the same chal­lenge for English-​​speakers as they would in coun­tries such as China or Italy,  it’s impor­tant to know how to deal with the paper­work und iden­tify the resources avail­able to assist with your job search.
